The Minnesota Office of C@nn@ Management (OCM) announced that Oaksterdam University has been selected to administer the state’s CanGrow grant program to help farmers enter or expand into the cannabis industry.

Oaksterdam will support up to 15 Minnesota farmers in developing and maintaining cultivation plans. This is more than a requirement—it is a roadmap for business development and implementing SOPs that increase efficiencies, reduce waste, and help the business stay compliant. We pair our industry-recognized Horticulture Mastery Certification with coaching from our Chair of Horticulture, Joey Ereñeta, and Minnesota attorney and business consultant, Jen Reise.

Are you or do you know a farmer in Minnesota who may be interested and qualify? Comment below, share, or email us at [email protected]

Inside the article:
- Why training must continue beyond onboarding
- Why technicians need to understand the reasoning behind the work
- How documentation and tracking improve outcomes
- Why simple, disciplined processes outperform unnecessary complexity
